Hi! Google Summer of Code is on for 2010 [1]. Is there any interest in participating this year? If so, I've found that the mentoring application deadline is 12 march. [2]
Since we're part of ASF, perhaps an application should go through them? [3] I've tried locating the GSoC ideas pages for 2009 but it seems to have got lost in the move to apache.org. My own suggestions (given what I know of subversion so far) would be: Implementing a tree conflict resolver --------------------------------------- This task probably should have editor-v2 available. Perhaps the task could be defined as doing some vital parts of editor-v2 and continue with a TC resolver once finished with the editor. And yes, I have no notion whatsoever about the time frame required for the editor-work. Replacing externals with something similar of ClearCases views ---------------------------------------------------------------- I overheard a conversation between Senthil and Bert on IRC where Bert mentioned the views concept of ClearCase. [4] I want something like externals but without the edge cases of file externals and with the externals nodes being more like regular nodes. Patch queues -------------- Some kind of quilt functionality for local storage of work-in-progress. Probably needs to have most the WC-NG parts stable. The views concept and TC resolver was in the GSoC 2009 ideas page IIRC. If the subversion community is interested in participating, I'm looking forward to compete in a friendly fashion for one of the Student Developer positions. cheers, Daniel [1] http://code.google.com/soc/ [2] http://socghop.appspot.com/document/show/gsoc_program/google/gsoc2010/faqs#timeline [3] http://community.apache.org/gsoc.html [4] http://techpubs.sgi.com/library/dynaweb_docs/0620/SGI_Developer/books/ClrC_CG/sgi_html/ch04.html
